Assesment 3

﻿1. Is gross profit or net profit more important to consider when you're deciding how successful and profitable a company is? Why? Explain. Net profit is more important than gross profit because gross profit is what you make before the government charges you taxes on that money. 2. Choose a well-known company that you know of, and describe its direct and indirect competitors. Describe at least 2 direct competitors and 2 indirect competitors. Wal-Mart is a very big groceries store and has many different competitors. Two direct competitors of Wal-Mart are Kmart and Target. Two indirect competitors are eBay, Amazon and anyone selling store that offers great value prices. 3. Describe at least 3 nonprice competition strategies a company could use to convince customers that its product is better than other similar products. Why would those strategies matter to customers? Packaging, advertising and labels on a product will give the customer all the information it needs to know about the product and can convince them to buy it. 4. Describe a nonprice competition strategy that you have seen a company use. Do you think this strategy was effective? Why or why not? I have seen Wal-Mart give buy one get one free products. This is a good strategy because it gives the customer the chance to get a second item for free. 5. If all other factors are equal, what is likely to happen to the supply of a product if the price goes up? Why? Explain. If the price goes up on a product the product quantity will rise because no one will buy at a higher price. 6. If all other factors are equal, what is likely to happen to the demand for a product if the price goes down? Why? Explain. If the price of a product goes down the demand will rise because the product is cheaper. 7. Describe a real or made up but possible example of a product that went through a time of scarcity. What was likely to happen to the price of the product when it was scarce, and why? AIR MAGS were a shoe made by NIKE....

...Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are students at the Imperial College of Engineering, one of the best colleges in India. They are room-mates in the college's hostel. While Farhan and Raju are average students from modest backgrounds, Rancho is from a rich family. Farhan wants to become a wildlife photographer, but is pursuing an engineering degree to fulfil his father's wish. Raju, on the other hand, needs to improve his family's financial situation. Rancho is a wealthy genius who studies for the sheer joy of it. His passion is for knowledge and taking apart and building machines rather than the conventional obsession of the other students with exam ranks. With his different approach Rancho incurs the wrath of college's dean, Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe aka ViruS (Boman Irani). Rancho irritates his lecturers by giving creative and unorthodox answers, and confronts ViruS after fellow student Joy Lobo hangs himself in his dormitory room. Rancho denounces the rat race, dog-eat-dog, mindless rote learning mentality of the institution, blaming it for Lobo's death.
Threatened by Rancho's talent and free spirit, ViruS labels him an "idiot" and attempts, on a number of occasions, to destroy his friendship with Farhan and Raju, warning them and their parents to steer clear of Rancho. ViruS's model student is Chatur Ramalingam or "Silencer", (Omi Vaidya) who sees a high rank at a prestigious...

Plot/Summary
Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Ranchhordas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three students who share a room in the residence of the fictional Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). Farhan is studying engineering to pursue his father's wishes, over his own passion for wildlife photography. Raju is studying to get his family out of poverty. On the other hand, Ranchho studies for his simple passion in machines. Rancho believes that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will take care of itself if excellence is followed.
However, this different approach is sneered upon by the college director, Dr. Viru "Virus" Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani). Virus's favourite student, Chatur Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya), known by the ICE community as "Silencer", believes in mindless memorizing over understanding in order to reach his goals of corporate status. Raju, who is initially annoyed by Rancho's methods, moves in with Chatur, where he fares worse. In order to impress Virus on Teachers' Day, Chatur, with the help of the college librarian, Dubey, writes a speech in pure Hindi which he will memorize to deliver on stage. Rancho decides to teach him a lesson and provide Raju with an example. Chatur, due his lack of knowledge in Hindi, mindlessly memorizes the paper, of which Rancho had secretly changed a few words (e.g. "chamatkaar" (miracle) was changed to "balatkaar" (rape))....

HELİUM 3
As we know, helium is a lightweight and non-radioactive isotope of helium with two
protons and one neutron. Also it sometimes called ‘tralphium’. According to many experts,
helium-3 can be a clean nuclear power. There are many benefits of helium-3 but the most
important problem is that there is very little helium-3 available on the Earth. First of all, I will
give general some information about helium-3 isotope.
Helium-3 |
General |
Name, symbol | Helium-3, 3He, He-3,3He |
Neutrons | 1 |
Protons | 2 |
Helium-3 is sought for use in nuclear fusion. As we know, all nuclear power plants use a
nuclear reaction to produce heat. This is used to turn water into steam that then drives a
turbine to produce electricity. Current nuclear power plants have nuclear fission reactors in
which uranium nuclei are split part. This releases energy, but also radioactivity and spent
nuclear fuel that is reprocessed into uranium, plutonium and radioactive waste which has to be
safety stored, effectively indefinitely....

Video game consoles have continued to dominate the youth market not only in the United States but overseas as well. With three primary focuses, Playstation, Xbox and the Wii, game consoles have invaded households worldwide.

With news that gaming consoles are in high demand, the development of next generation games is important to keep up with the supply and demand of fantastic games. This is why my choice product is a sim-game which markets to both China and India called, “The Early Empire.”
Simulation games (sim-game) focus on the management and development of environments rather than a character. The sim-game brings to life the ability for the gamer to become apart of the game. With “The Early Empire,” our marketing strategy would be to appeal to the youths of both China and India with a concentration to the historical history of their country.
By putting the youth in charge of their country and running their...
